Camino Retirement Apartments

Carol

I was very impressed with Camino Retirement Apartments. They were one of the few that took the time to give us a tour. We were having coffee talking to the manager, and my brother spilled his coffee, and the manager jovially asked one of the kitchen help to come in, bring a mop up and clean it up, and that person was very pleasant. Everybody we encountered was so nice. They were interacting with the people coming and going. We even met the bus driver. It was a very enjoyable experience. My brother hung out and asked the residents their opinions. The staff who assisted me carefully explained everything and she gave us a history. We weren't able to meet the activity director that day, but this person was dedicated to giving the tours. She was a little bit delayed with the people she was showing around before we got there, and I didn't mind waiting for her one bit because, when she got to us, she gave us her complete attention. We were shown the cafeteria and they had the chalkboard menu, and it looked very promising. They had a variety of choices for breakfast. They would have two entrees for lunch and then two soups for dinner. For the rooms, my brother can have his own coffee maker and a small kitchen counter with a very small refrigerator, so he was really happy with that. They had food out at all times. They had pastries left over that were individually wrapped, and they offered them to us on our tour. When the manager went to get the kitchen staff with the mop, he came out eating a nice chunk of cake.

Camino Retirement Apartments was an old building, and it has not been upgraded the way the other facility that I went to did. It looked very tired. It's very dark and a lot of the residents were sitting in wheelchairs and I'm not ready for that yet. They just had regular outdoor parking and didn't have underground parking. I had lunch there though and it was delicious. The staff was also very nice and very pleasant.

My mom came to a place in her life that she was no longer able to live alone and didn't want to live with my husband and I so we set out to look for a place we found Camino Retirement as we had passed it several times we decided to stop in and that was the best thing that happened to my mom she was able to live in her own space/apartment but get the help she needed as needed. We appreciate the staff and outstanding care she received in her last years. Camino will always be a place we recommend and are thankful for. We still stop by and see my moms sweet friends and staff its a community/family.

Camino Retirement Apartments was an older place and I did not care for it because the independent living was combined with the assisted living. I didn't think my mom would have fit in there at all. There was one elevator that took forever to go up and down the different levels. The staff member that assisted us was very friendly. They had posters in every hallway for the residents to see what was going on. I did not care for the dining area that much because it seemed small to me.

I didn’t think Camino Retirement Apartments was very patient-friendly. They seemed to me like they didn’t care whether the patients needed help. Maybe it was the time of day that I went. Everybody was busy, but people were looking for nurses, and it just hit me the wrong way. The 1-bedroom suite was a little bigger, but it was a lot higher, too. The lady that took me around was very friendly. She kept telling me that everything would work out OK. The food was horrible. It looked like it was a leftover from a couple of days. They threw a bunch of it together and served it up.

That staff at Camino Retirement wasn’t very helpful to my dad and the building wasn’t in great shape. The people seemed pleasant enough, but they didn’t really interact with anybody. It had a basic cafeteria.
